What does Les Merveilles - Ambre Mirabilis smell like?

Amber and balsam form the backbone, toffee adds sweetness, and suede brings a soft, animalic texture. Calabrian bergamot lightens the heavy cover a little, Turkish rose carries the floral side, and a woody, resinous warmth ties it together.

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage good. Most pick winter and fall, and lean towards evenings and nights out. It reads mostly feminine, though a fair number call it masculine. Serge Lutens Cèdre and Xerjoff Ceylon have a close profile.
